10 Benefits of Therapeutic Canine Massage

  1. Calms the Dogs
    Dogs bark and make noise more when they are restless, tense, hyperactive or aggressive. A good massage helps them relax and become a calmer dog. A regular massage will help keep them that way.
  2. Eases Aching Muscles
    Just as humans feel a lot of relief to their aching muscles after a good massage, the same happens to your dog. Extremely beneficial for athletic dogs; even for pet dogs who workout of a regular basis as massages strengthen your dog’s muscles.

  4. Improves Blood and Lymph Circulation
    It stimulates blood circulation which then increases the amount of oxygen that reaches tissue and flushes out toxins and waste. Great on dogs suffering from obesity.
  5. Disperses Pain
    At the spot of the massage, it induces cells to release cytokines and then instructs the brain to release pain-killing endorphins.
  6. Releases Stress
    When adolescent dogs are introduced to routine massage experience, they have less stress when they become older therefore increasing the immune system to fight some common aging aliments.
